HB444 Is sitting on Governor Lingle's desk and I implore you to call, write or email her to VETO this bill. It has been argued that "religious" people are imposing their values in opposing same sex civil unions. I would suggest that the homosexual activists who lobbied our legislature & now our governor are seeking to impose their "morality" on all of us. The reason this has gone as far as it has is not because more people accept it, but rather most people do not spend their time in constant conflict or activism. Still we have those that say we are depriving the homosexuals of rights and benefits that are afforded to traditional marriages, who gets married for “rights and benefits”? Marriage is about “sacrifice and responsibility”. These benefits were originally meant for families raising children. While some couples who don’t have children may benefit from those, expanding those benefits is the wrong way to go. Men and women are made in all ways physically and emotionally for each other, and are complimentary in a way that homosexuals can never be. Any other sexual or intimacy-driven proclivity is an aberration, whether it’s mental, genetic or simply a choice. The danger homosexual civil marriage presents is the enshrining into law the notion that sexual love, regardless of its fecundity, is the sole criterion for marriage. If sexual love becomes the primary purpose, the restriction of marriage to heterosexual couples loses its logical basis, leading to marital chaos.
